very thin. and what shows it beyond
doubt n falsehood is. that while the
Chinaman was sasiIy tracked by his
moccasins, no horse tracks could he
found.
Mr.. Sampson says that the prop.
erty destroyed cost him ever $4,000.
The Chinaman is now in jail ut Ely,
hut whether n warrant has been issued
for McCurdy We are not apprised.
Since writing the above, We are in
formed that q warrant has been issued
out IF Justice Munro's Court for ihe
arrest of McCurdy. and that an officer
has gone to Spring Valley to execute
the same.

Deba uching Children IN Carson.

The man Campbe !, who was arrest
ed in Carson for debauching a young
child, has been indicted by the Grand
Jury.
Commenting on the shocking affair
The Appeal says: There is deep feel.
ing il. this city against the wretches
who have for some time past made
llcentinus prey of children. A phys.
ician informed the writer yrstel day
that he believed there were over fifty
children in this city under - years of
age whose persons Ind been violated
by men. This is a shocking state nf
affairs To exist anywhere. and more
especially in tawn so small as Car
s.n City. This debanching of chill
tlren has been going an for some time,
and the existence of this shameless
state of affairs has been frequent
topic of conversation ON the streets here
for the past two years.
sSome years agn man who was
spotted AS an ineendary was taken be-
ynnd the city limits and hanged. He
was merely u burner of buildings. but
WAS hanged all the same. Yet what
father il there who would not rather
scar that his house had been reduced
To ashes than his child had been de-
hauchrd. The Appeal has no desire
tn prejudice the case of Campbell, who
is in the hands at the law, hut If Moth
ing less than lynching Will keep vss-
Gals from running children M tender
years, n lyncliing will come with re.
petitions of the offense There are
dozens of men in Carson who follow
children rs sleuth hounds fellow game,
and there are male procurers who
work for indecent masters. Before
